Matt Skinner –
Used this leader for a week of trout fishing in a cold stream. The line stayed dry and performed well under wet conditions. The knot strength held up during strong drifts. Packaging is easy to open and the paper is recyclable, which is a plus for the environment.
Justin Vance –
Fished in a remote lake with small trout. The tapered design allowed for smooth, natural drifts. The butt section is sturdy and the tippet is supple. No line tangles or breaks during casting.
Faith Thomson –
Good performance in variable water conditions. A bit heavier than expected at the butt, but that helps with casting accuracy. The biodegradable packaging is a nice touch and fits well with eco-conscious fishing habits.
